Domenic Recchia, a former NYC Council Member, testified about the need for a ferry service to Coney Island and the lack of a proper feasibility study despite previous agreements. He criticized the city's failure to conduct a comprehensive study as promised in the 2009 rezoning points of agreement and disputed claims about recent assessments.

  • Recchia presented documentation showing a commitment to a ferry feasibility study for Coney Island within 3 years of the 2009 rezoning, which was never completed due to Hurricane Sandy.
  • He challenged the EDC's claim of a 2022 feasibility analysis, stating that no thorough study has been conducted and the information provided was insufficient.
  • Recchia offered to provide additional data and documentation to support the need for a proper ferry service study for Coney Island.
